Chapter 23 Wu Zhaoyi 8 of the crossing
Seeing that things were getting more and more ferocious, Ruoshui grabbed a few minions who were spreading the word and beat them severely, and even some of the concubines were reprimanded, and finally stopped this evil trend. But this is all on the surface, and it is still fierce in private, and this kind of royal gossip is the most topical.
Li Zhi hadn't entered the harem for more than ten consecutive days, so naturally he didn't know about the rumors in the palace, and no one told him. Gonggong Li, who was close to him, thought that someone else had told the emperor that the emperor had not reflected, so he could only be too lazy to pay attention to it. And the others thought that Gong Li would tell the emperor, so they didn't say much. In this way, several parties thought that the other party would speak, so in the end, Li Zhi, as the head of a country, was kept in the valley.
On this day, Li Zhi finished dealing with the folds and was about to take a walk in the imperial garden, and Gonggong Li immediately prepared to arrange for someone to clear the field.
"No, I'm just walking around the garden, I don't have to clear the field. "Every time I go to the garden, people see no one, it's boring.
"Little Lizi, you just follow me. Li Zhi said and took the lead in walking forward.
Gonggong Li thought that there was no danger in the imperial garden, so he didn't insist on anything, and watched the emperor who was walking away and hurriedly trotted to follow.
Gonggong Li watched the emperor standing behind a rockery from a distance, as if he was listening to something, and immediately his heart tightened, and he stepped forward quickly. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Li Zhi raising his hand.
"Do you say that Wu Zhaoyi really deliberately seduced the emperor because he hated the snub of the first emperor?"
"Then who knows, but a nun who is a monk in Ganye Temple, I don't know what means she has used, and now she can rank as the second rank of Zhaoyi, can that means be bad? Don't say it, if Wu Zhaoyi hears this kind of thing, don't want to die." ”
"Hmph, I heard that I was pregnant in Ganye Temple, in a place like Ganye Temple, who knows who this child is, maybe it will be planted on the emperor, who in this palace doesn't know, she can still kill all people. ”
"She can't kill her now, maybe she will be the queen mother, and now everyone in the palace is saying that Wu Zhaoyi is the one who wants to be the queen mother, which is destined by heaven. ”
"I've also heard of it, how did that sentence come about, by the way, Wu Dai Li Xing! 'Wu' doesn't mean Wu Zhaoyi. ”
Li Zhi was originally very angry, and he was ready to punish these talkative minions, but Li Zhi still minded a little about Wu Mei being his father's little wife. But usually no one dared to mention it in front of him, causing him to seem to forget about it.
Now that he is talking about it by these minions, Li Zhi feels very faceless and a little embarrassed.
Li Zhi never suspected that the child was not his own, Li Zhi still believed in his charm, but he was still very annoyed when he was said so, and he pulled out what the queen mother was, which was inexplicable. He didn't have any plans to abolish the queen, he was still very satisfied with the queen during this time, and was about to go out to teach these people a lesson, but these people mentioned the matter of 'Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty', which made Li Zhi's heart shocked.
This matter can be said to be Li Zhi's heart disease for a period of time, and he is always worried that someone will pull him off the throne, which is not a good feeling.
'Wu, on behalf of Wu Zhaoyi. ’
Li Zhi kept replaying this sentence in his mind, thinking about Tai Shiling's words in his heart.
In the evening, a group of people suddenly broke into the Liangyi Temple.
"Queen Mother, the emperor received news that someone in the harem was doing witchcraft, and because of the importance of the matter, the old slave was specially ordered to take people to search the harem. ”
The person who came was Li Zhi's henchman Li Gonggong.
Don't you know that the fall of Jiafu in the Dream of Red Mansions began with the search of the Grand View Garden?
"Oh, it is His Majesty's will, then the palace will naturally obey, if you want to search, then search, let Chunmei and Chunxiao follow it!" Ruoshui sat in the center of the hall and said lightly, with no joy or anger on his expression.
Of course Gonggong Li knows what the queen means, isn't he afraid that someone will frame him, he doesn't have this plan, no matter what, the other party is the queen, and these faces still have to be given.
"Absolutely. ”
Gonggong Li saluted again and waved his hand back, "Search, be careful, don't break things." ”
The group of people who came with them all searched the palace in an orderly manner when they heard Gonggong Li's greeting, including the inner room of the queen's bedroom.
After a while, I have to say that the people in the palace are powerful, even the boxes and cabinets that should be messy and messy look tight and organized, and there is no feeling of a devil entering the village at all.
A quarter of an hour later
"Father-in-law, the search has been completed, and there is nothing. An old woman stepped forward and whispered.
Chunlan, the big palace maid who had been waiting nervously beside Ruoshui, changed her face, how could she not have it......?
I really wanted to come forward and speak, but now the situation can't help her at all, if she dares to speak, she will definitely die, Chunlan finally had to bite her lip and bow her head silently.
Ruoshui's gaze swept over Chunlan's face without a trace, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a sneer.
This tea tastes good, and it deserves to be a tribute.
Gonggong Li looked at the queen who was concentrating on tea with an expressionless face, and knew that he had to deal with it carefully now.
"Queen Mother, the minions have finished checking, there is no problem in the Liangyi Palace, please rest assured, disturb the mother's rest, the minions deserve death. ”
Gonggong Li smiled and put his attitude very low, it stands to reason that he is acting on the orders of the emperor, there is no need to do this, but the identity and status of the other party are there, so he can't help but bow his head.
"Gonggong Li is polite, this palace knows that this is the emperor's will, I don't blame you, you are also loyal. But even if you are loyal to your duties in the palace of this palace, then this palace hopes that you can continue to be loyal, Gonggong Li, what do you say?"
Ruoshui put down the teacup with a light smile and said something in his words.
Gonggong Li is also an old man in the palace, and he immediately understood the meaning of Ruoshui.
Doesn't it mean that other palaces should also be searched carefully and treated equally?
The old slave understands, and the queen mother can rest assured. ”
Gonggong Li also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the queen is not holding grudges, which is great.
This is all an errand that offends people, after this search, most of the harem has been offended, and the queen is so generous, which makes Gonggong Li overjoyed.
The harem is the master, and he is the emperor's henchman and a servant, so he must act cautiously, but the emperor's orders must also be completed.
A group of people left the Liangyi Hall and rushed to other palaces.
"Queen Mother, these minions are too much, they dare to come to search the Liangyi Palace, why don't you teach these people a good lesson, you don't take you seriously. ”
Chunmei said angrily, only feeling that Ruoshui's temper was too good, so she would be bullied by these minions.
"Then what do you want? This is the emperor's will, do you want this palace to resist the decree?" Ruoshui said indifferently. Since ancient times, I thought that if I didn't have the strength to go against the emperor, I wouldn't end well. Besides, the emperor clearly ordered to search the harem, there must be someone to complain, if she doesn't let people search for the sake of face, but makes the emperor even more suspicious, why bother?
Face is sometimes not that important!
"No, the slave didn't mean that, it's just ......" Chunmei didn't know what to say in the end, so she had to stomp her feet fiercely, as if she was unwilling.
"Okay, go and beat all the people in the palace, the more times like this, the more you can't mess up, let's retreat, Chunlan and Chunxiao stay. Ruoshui said and glanced at it, but her face was still pale.
Chunlan felt the queen's eyes sweeping over her, and her heart trembled, and she had a bad premonition.
